La Diana Market keeps the cold chain running with Torus

La Diana Market is a locally owned grocery store on the west side of Downtown Salt Lake City.La Diana is a neighborhood favorite and a community anchor on Salt Lake City's west side. But high operational energy costs and the risk of losing perishable inventory during power outages were persistent challenges and the market's owners wanted a solution that aligned with their commitment to sustainability

1. High operational electricity costs cut into margins for a family-owned grocery business operating on tight budgets
2. Power outages put perishable inventory at risk
3. The market needed a sustainable energy solution that could integrate with an existing solar installation and reduce emissions without adding operational complexity

1. Torus Pulse batteries provide instantaneous backup power to refrigeration units, minimizing inventory losses during outages
2. Torus Lasso optimizes energy usage in real time, reducing peak demand fees and sharing power back to the surrounding neighborhood when demand is high
3. Torus Overwatch provides 24/7 monitoring and support, minimizing asset downtime with data-driven predictive maintenance

By storing solar energy, sharing power back to the neighborhood during high-demand periods, and maintaining 100% operational continuity through outages, La Diana is showing what locally owned energy infrastructure can look like at the community level. The model is replicable — for other small businesses that rely on refrigeration, operate on tight margins, and serve neighborhoods that can't afford disruptions. What La Diana proves is that advanced energy storage isn't reserved for large industrial operations.
